For the gravitational wave background, maybe with LISA we might be able to get a glimpse, but the neutrino background seems like it'd take some truly unprecedented breakthroughs in our ability to detect neutrinos to have any chance of mapping it out.
- datameta 2y agoNaive thought - can a subsurface detector on the moon serve as an ultracold shielded scenario?
- mvkel 2y agoFunny, in reading up on both, I had higher hopes for the gravitational waves. It seems like GWB is a superposition of infinite overlapping waves that would be impossible to single out and "unwind" in order to form a map. And big bang neutrinos are very weak, which makes them undetectable. My assumption was we'd need a breakthrough in measurement sensitivity but is there more to it?
